false 2017910 1 There is a fantastic array of vegetables you can grow in your garden, and not all of them are annuals. In <i>Perennial Vegetables</i> the adventurous gardener will find information, tips, and sound advice on less common edibles that will make any garden a perpetual, low-maintenance source of food.<br><br>Imagine growing vegetables that require just about the same amount of care as the flowers in your perennial beds and borders&#151;no annual tilling and potting and planting. They thrive and produce abundant and nutritious crops throughout the season. It sounds too good to be true, but in <i>Perennial Vegetables</i> author and plant specialist Eric Toensmeier (<i>Edible Forest Gardens</i>) introduces gardeners to a world of little-known and wholly underappreciated plants. Ranging beyond the usual suspects (asparagus, rhubarb, and artichoke) to include such &#147;minor&#148; crops as ground cherry and ramps (both of which have found their way onto exclusive restaurant menus) and the much sought after, anti-oxidant-rich wolfberry (also known as goji berries), Toensmeier explains how to raise, tend, harvest, and cook with plants that yield great crops and satisfaction. <br><br>Perennial vegetables are perfect as part of an edible landscape plan or permaculture garden. Profiling more than 100 species, illustrated with dozens of color photographs and illustrations, and filled with valuable growing tips, recipes, and resources, <i>Perennial Vegetables</i> is a groundbreaking and ground-healing book that will open the eyes of gardeners everywhere to the exciting world of edible perennials. 2022239 16 5 2007 Perennial Vegetables: From Artichokes to Zuiki Taro, A Gardener's Guide to Over 100 Delicious and Easy to Grow Edibles total:17|5:6|4:7|3:3|2:1| 17 69 46 4 5 0 false false Thu Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 13:36:18 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 13:37:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 26 11:30:37 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 25 08:24:23 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jan 22 02:01:42 -0800 2009 Sun Aug 09 09:50:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 12 16:44:12 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 15:42:11 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 16:44:12 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Sep 08 19:11:53 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 19:11:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Aug 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 07:45:18 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 07:45:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 18 14:45:03 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 14:45:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 07:39:08 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 07:39:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 03 10:18:03 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 10:18:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 27 15:12:13 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 15:12:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 07:01:09 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 11:12:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 01:30:20 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 01:30:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 15 12:41:19 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 12:41:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 23 12:58:28 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 12:58:28 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Jun 16 19:13:24 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 19:13:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 10 07:57:31 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 08:04:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 17 12:13:59 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 12:13:59 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Apr 10 07:44:22 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 09:20:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 11 15:36:29 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 15:36:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 14 13:59:31 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 13:59:31 -0800 2009
